Well, patching genkernel worked so its still broken as regards suspend/resume - so I can now suspend/resume still with some errors. Next problem is that there are error messages implying /usr might not be mounted by the initramfs (some /usr files not found) ... is there anything else that needs doing? Once the system is up /usr and all other directories are correctly mounted (most are on LVM). Is there a way to get a detailed log of what the initrd is doing/has done? BillK
